Where Will Man Take Us? looks at the primary drivers of this change – artificial intelligence, bio-engineering and nanotechnology. It looks at how in our quest to bring human-like cognition to AI, we are forced to look at ourselves and answer some of our oldest questions – what is it to be human, what is self-awareness, what is consciousness. AI's ability to crunch data and math's ability to find patterns, could also help us unravel some of our greatest mysteries – astrology, aliens, the secret to unbroken eternal happiness. The book also looks at the advancements in genetics – the ability to edit the genome truly marks the beginning of man's next avatar. All of this is impacting some of our greatest ideas and institutions.
